Strana 263 - Thus Satan, talking to his nearest mate, With head uplift above the wave, and eyes That sparkling blazed ; his other parts besides, Prone on the flood, extended long and large, Lay floating many a rood Forthwith upright he rears from off the pool His mighty stature ; on each hand the flames, Driven.
Strana 143 - For joy of offer'd peace : but I suppose, If our proposals once again were heard, We should compel them to a quick result.
